Authentication failed

[dsgithub2k]

Having issues lately using F1tv kodi add on . Unable to login with the Account Authentication failed. any help? I've checked the login and is exactly the one I use in other devices. Running Kodi on a Shield Pro.

Same here on Kodi on a Chromecast with Google TV...

[joeyberkovitz]

Seems that authentication API endpoint changed without any other significant changes. The fix for me was to make the following change in AccountManager.py

__ACCOUNT_API__='https://api.formula1.com/v2/account/'
__ACCOUNT_CREATE_SESSION__=__ACCOUNT_API__+'subscriber/authenticate/by-password'

[bbsan2k]

Interesting - so they finally deprecated v1 API... I‘ll try to provide the fix in an update tomorrow. Thx @joeyberkovitz

and how I go about changing that? or is it something only the developer can do it?

That would be great!! especially we have Portuguese GP this weekend. Your app is fantastic by the way, thanks for doing this

Hopefully we will get an update soon...

[bbsan2k]

Is anyone willing to try test release 0.1.5? It fixes the Account Issue (on my platform - macOS, Kodi 18.8, Germany) but due to localized settings it may fail for others. Please test and report! Once this is done I'll deploy on the auto update repo.

[joeyberkovitz]

I verified that the test release works for me - windows and U.S.

I can### where do I download the 1.5 version?

[Calimerorulez]

I downloaded the 0.1.5 zip, but it says 0.1.4. It still crashes (in Holland), but I will experiment further.

[dsgithub2k]

Anywhere I can download the 0.1.5 zip here to test it?

[joeyberkovitz]

@bbsan2k I think you forgot to bump the version on the test release, so the upgrade doesn't go through without an uninstall first.

[dsgithub2k]

uninstall current version, installed 0.1.5 test version. Authentication failed as well. Using Kodi on a Shield TV Pro. It does says the version is 0.1.4 as mentioned by @Calimerorulez

[bbsan2k]

Sorry, Seems I forgot to update the version in addon.xml.

Please try again: https://github.com/bbsan2k/plugin.video.f1tv/releases/tag/0.1.5

The only change is the version string, so if you previously uninstalled 0.1.4 and reinstalled yesterdays' package there is no change for you.

Additionally make sure:

• your are not on VPN
• Your device list on f1tv is not maxed out

Hi @bbsan2k , So I uninstalled version 0.1.4, restarted Kodi, installed the new test 0.1.5 version and now it gives me a F1tv kodi plugin error message. Not on VPN and account on F1 is not maxed out, actually I deleted all devices for this test. Reviewed log error on direct texture file loading failed, error getting plugin://plugin.video.f1tv/ error:control 55 in window 10025 has been asked to focus, but it can't

Uninstalled and installed problem persists.

[bbsan2k]

@dsgithub2k Can you activate debug in the plugin and the log as well and provide the log output?

[LTKort]

Hi @bbsan2k , I got the following:

[LTKort]

@bbsan2k I Fixed it by commenting line #47 in F1TV_Minimal_API.py see #38

[Calimerorulez]

Same here. I can’t copy/paste the log right now, but:

ValueError: _locale emulation only supports “C” locale.

And: Control 55 in window 10025 has been asked to focus but it can’t

Error: nl

Etc.

[bbsan2k]

@LTKort The problem is, that this only fixes the problem on Raspi and some other platforms, while on Mac and Windows it breaks functionality. I guess it has something to do with the way the cache lib is expecting the Date formats

Edit: Merged for now. Please test 0.1.5.1

[dennis1804]

Thanks, 0.1.5.1 seems to work for android tv and Windows 😀 just like the comment below the current event is indeed missing.

[cmiguelcabral]

V0.1.5.1 working here on LibreElec (RPi3) Just the current event is not appearing on the front page.

[Calimerorulez]

0.1.5.1 working for me too on Kodi/Chromecast with Google TV.

Thanks all for the quick debugging and fixes!

[doormalena]

0.1.5.1 works on Windows 10 x64 (after manually installing it, repository does not know this version). Watching the Portugal P1 replay now.

It seems the navigation is changed though since the last release published in the repository, I can only find the current race via 2020 > Portugal. Not a blocker, just something to know.

I second that. Version 0.1.5.1 working for me on the Shield Tv Pro no error. The Navigational is changed, not sure if we'll be able to watch the live event? Seems to show only past events.

It's playing live events, I watched P2 there. Just the Current Event is not showing up on Root Page.

The update worked here, I installed this version having the previews installed and it showed "Updated..."

[dsgithub2k]

I concur with the above. Watched P2 today as well, although I joined in the second half of the live event. does the live event link appears right before is going to start?

[Calimerorulez]

Well does anyone know how to watch live?

[bbsan2k]

Well does anyone know how to watch live?

Navigate to Portugal 2020 manually and the stream will appear once available. Unfortunately it seems, live streaming only works on certain platforms - not including macOS, so it’s hard for me to debug.

[doormalena]

On Windows, the live stream works OK at the moment. Watching quali right now using 0.1.6 version.

[dsgithub2k]

App is working beautifully! Would like to thank the developer for making this happen Thank you @bbsan2k!

[adityakalra16]

Hey there. Installed the newest version, and yet still unable to play the race or quali videos. the highlights are playing but the rest are not. Account details are correct and devices are all cleared, still, getting error in playing. Also not running any vpn. Should i be running in case F1TV is not supported in my country? i tried after running vpn, it just doesnt open any session videos but at the same time no error logs. Please help! thank you

Hey, Which device/Kodi version is used?

[adityakalra16]

Hey! Thanks for the quick reply, Currently using a Pi4 with LibreElec Kodi (not sure which version but the latest(fresh install today)

[Calimerorulez]

Same here. The only error I get is:

ERROR: Account Authentication failed.

Using Kodi 18.9 on a Chromecast Google TV. Couple of days ago, it was working fine.

[dsgithub2k]

I'm having no issues here. on Kodi/Nvidia Shield F1TV version 0.1.5

[Calimerorulez]

Still not working :'(

[doormalena]

Still not working :'(

Having the same issue today with 0.1.6 when wanting to watch FP1. Previous race weekend it worked fine.

Using the official app with the same credentials is working. Location: Netherlands

[dennis1804]

according to: https://github.com/SoMuchForSubtlety/f1viewer/issues/111. it seems like the f1tv api is blocking bot calls because they can't execute javascript, which might be the reason why most of us can login.

[doormalena]

Interesting. According to further down in that thread it mentions its related to the user agent. See https://github.com/SoMuchForSubtlety/f1viewer/issues/111#issuecomment-726888417

[bbsan2k]

It is really difficult to reproduce this issue on my side. On my Mac, Live Events are not working - but they never have, so this is nothing "new". Can somebody please try the latest version in develop and check if issues are resolved with this? I added the User-Agent as "RaceControl" - and at least on my Raspberry Pi LibreElec it's working like this...

EDIT: Find Prelease 0.1.6.1 here @doormalena @dennis1804 @Calimerorulez

[dennis1804]

@bbsan2k, seems to work. (debain, ubuntu 20.04) however i am getting some errors when i try to watch the practice 3 of the turkish gp. other practices starting nicely from the beginning.

[bbsan2k]

@dennis1804 This is probably related to the stream that has just finished, while not being available as recording yet... Probably you just need to wait a bit. While still this is annoying (I agree) I currently don't have much time to invest into the plugin... I'll have some vacation before christmas, so maybe I can spend some time on making this whole thing a bit more robust...

[dennis1804]

yeah that's probably the issue, works now starting from the beginning. (also on android tv) thanks for making the time to fix these issues. :+1:

[merson316]

Can confirm. 0.1.6.1 has fixed it for me as well.

[Calimerorulez]

@bbsan2k

Works OK for me too :) Thanks! (I was too late for checking live streaming though).

Just watched qualify live on version 1.6.0, everything good.
